Ibadan, July 10, 2023: A former Lawmaker, Rep Shina Peller, has applauded the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Peller, an ex-House of Representatives Member in the 9th National Assembly made this known in a statement on Monday in Ibadan.
The ex-lawmaker represented the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency of Oyo State.
He said that it was a welcome development, adding that it was an indication of the vibrancy of Nigeria’s economic and political leadership in the African continent.
“President Tinubu’s emergence as ECOWAS chairman is a testament to the vision of Nigeria’s founding fathers who always wanted a Nigeria for Africa, not a Nigeria for Nigerians only.
“His emergence presents a beam of renewed hope for the African continent, and I believe his administration will bring about remarkable changes not only in Nigeria, but Africa as a whole.
“With Tinubu, 2023 will be a turning point for Nigeria. I’m very confident that President Tinubu’s administration will bring about remarkable changes not only in Nigeria, but Africa as a whole.
“May God strengthen the president and his team in all aspects to deliver beyond expectations,’’ he said.
